I took Meprate for five days because of a missed period, and now I have a positive home pregnancy test six days after my last dose; what should I do next, and could this medication harm the pregnancy?
Taking Meprate (medroxyprogesterone acetate) for a short five-day course in very early pregnancy is highly unlikely to cause harm to your baby. Your most important next step is to schedule an appointment with your gynecologist to confirm the pregnancy with a blood test and an ultrasound. Be sure to let them know about the medication you took. For now, you can start taking daily prenatal vitamins with folic acid and rest easy.
